Close to Cromer and its lovely beach, historic market town of Aylsham, National Trust Blickling and Felbrigg (15 mins). A newly renovated 19th Century Wesleyan Chapel with beautiful views over common land, currently full of orchids and flag irises. Daily we see a barn owl, wood peckers, kestrels, and a range of small birds.
This is a beautiful area for walking and cycling. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families (with kids). Wifi installed but slow.

We did the renovation ourselves. It's a family annexe and much love went into making it as beautiful a space as possible. As well as the beautiful views, it has wonderful high ceilings and can light up like a lantern during sunset. It is incredibly quiet here, you will hardly hear a car go by and the nights are dark (amazing for star gazing).
The Chapel is completely self contained and the kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering. The space is well insulated and keeps very warm, has full central heating.
The space is comfortable for 3 people, but 4 is completely doable, particularly for shorter stays or if 2 are kids/happy to share a bed, the second bedroom is small. Note that the small room double bed is a bunk with a step up to it. The main bedroom would fit a travel cot.
The annexe is separate from the house, so during your trip it's all yours. Has off road parking for up to 2 cars.
Happy to offer help and advice about the local area, pubs, cycle routes, beaches. I love this part of North Norfolk and am happy to share and hear your tips too, there's always something new to discover.

A short drive to Cromer and it's lovely beaches, we're on the edge of what locals call 'the Ber-mooda triangle', windy, narrow lanes between Aylsham, Holt & Sheringham that are wonderful for getting lost in! Lots of lovely country pubs nearby, fantastic for walking, cycling and bird watching.
Nearest station is North Walsham, 15 mins drive away, taxi's are available. Buses to and from Norwich or Cromer stop regularly on the main road (10 min walk).
We have just installed wifi, though it is patchy and can be slow and you may be happy without it here. There is very little mobile reception (a walk up the lane helps), but that's the same in most of Norfolk!

The Chapel is beautiful and Hannah was an excellent host. She gave a couple of tips on local veggie places to eat and we weren't disappointed. A lovely place to relax for a long weekend.

JenOctober 2016

The chapel is a beautiful place to stay - so light and airy, and with some lovely touches that make it feel like a home from home. I stayed with my husband and 3 month baby and we were all very comfortable - there was enough room for our travel cot in the main bedroom and we used the smaller bedroom next door for our changing mat etc. It was the perfect location for the nearby wedding we were attending at Blickley Hall, and also very well positioned for exploring the North Norfolk coast. We went to Cromer before heading home, which was definitely a worthwhile trip - we just wish we had been staying longer so we could have explored a little more!

LizzyAugust 2016

We had a lovely stay at the Chapel in Erpingham. The photos on the listing do not do the place justice, it is a really beautiful place to stay, so peaceful and quiet, it really does feel like a retreat! Hannah was a great host, really friendly and had some great recommendations which added to our fantastic experience in Norfolk. We will certainly be recommending Hannah's place to friends as we had such a nice time and couldn't have wanted for more.

EleonorAugust 2016

Beautiful & unique flat. Perfect for a base to explore Norfolk. Hannah was very easy to communicate with and super friendly. Definitely recommend!

TatianaNovember 2016

We had a lovely 4 night stay at Hannah's. Very relaxing space and well equipped to self cater. Had a lovely meal at the Walpole Arms in the next village.

JayneSeptember 2016

The Chapel in Erpingham is a delightful hideaway in beautiful countryside. The accommodation is lovely and offers everything for a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Great location with many good pubs and restaurants and quick access to the Norfolk coast. Would give The Chapel a big thumbs up

JamesJuly 2016

We had such a lovely stay in Hannah's chapel home. Such a beautiful building, with everything supplied that we needed and just really cosy and tasteful too. Really couldn't fault it and the location was great. Thank you Hannah!

SamAugust 2016

A nicely restored chapel with everything you need in hand. The place is lovely, nicely decorated, clean and cozy. Located in a small village but a short ride away from the coast and main spots (including any grocery stores). Hannah was easy to communicate with despite poor reception in norfolk, flexible with check in/out times and very helpful providing local tips. Unfortunately we did not have much time to explore the areaas we were attending a wedding. Overall a great experience that I would definitely recommend

Sarah was very quick to respond to queries, was in contact regularly about getting there etc - very helpful. The place is lovely (even nicer than the photos) everything is finished to a high standard, stylish and cosy. Peaceful surroundings. Really appreciated the box of maps to borrow and Sarah's personal guide with local walks to do in the area. Would recommend.

We had a wonderful stay in The Little Stables, it was sweet and cosy and Sarah was a wonderful host going out of her way to make us comfortable and welcome. Thank you for a great few days break!

PippaSeptember 2016

Sarah was very attentive before our arrival making sure we had the bedding we needed (my Steven can't do feather pillows!) and being ready for our dog Reggie.

KateAugust 2016

Sarah provided dressing gowns and slippers for us as well as cake, eggs, bread, milk and treats for our dog. The place was spotless and most important, cosy, welcoming and absolutely charming. We met Sarah briefly and she was friendly and helpful. Just a caveat that if you are not used to country noises at night, there were some very loud and hungry critters dining outside in the garden which woke us a few times. Nothing can get inside, just warning any light sleepers!

Calthorpe is close to the Wolterton and Mannington Estate, encompassing the private stately homes of the Walpole family, and nearby to Blickling (4 miles away) with its spectacular Jacobean house, gardens and estate as well as the superb 17th century Felbrigg Hall (7 miles away), both of which are owned by the National Trust. This area is renowned for its unspoilt rural nature, with many lovely and interesting walks in the surrounding countryside.

Mondays see the Georgian market place full of stalls and there is also the weekly auction of bric-a-brac. The quintessential village of Aldborough (1.6 miles away) has a mini-supermarket open seven days a week, a post office and two pubs overlooking the village green, with its cricket pitch.
You really need a car to get full enjoyment of the area. The village is served by a rural bus service.
Please note that the cottage is only available for a minimum stay of 7 nights arrival on a Saturday from 4 pm and departure on a Saturday by 10 am.

This is a lovely cottage which was spotlessly clean. We opened the back door to find a welcome of milk tea coffee etc and a bottle of wine and a jar of homemade marmalade. The wood burner produced an excellent heat. The cottage itself was charming. The kitchen had just about every utensil you can imagine together with a washing machine and dishwasher for which tablets were provided. The cottage was handy for the coast and also for Norwich. We all enjoyed our stay and the cottage is on our list of accommodation to return to.

The barn is warm, bright and spacious and situated in a nice calm location. We used both car and bicycles to explore the local area. Fantastic food in Aylsham (10 min drive). Highly recommend the Marriotts Way cycle trail path which will heads to Norwich, taking in the countryside and a few cafes enroute.

Great weekend. Great Host. Perfect location and very nicely fitted out accommodation. Would definitely recommend!

SimonJuly 2016

Lovely place in a very quiet spot, but close to great North Norfolk coast and rolling countryside, National Trust properties etc. Very friendly host. Accommodation exactly as pictured. There is a large gallery bedroom up a spiral staircase, which I guess could be an issue for some people with limited mobility as the bathroom is downstairs, but do ask Jerry for his opinion regarding your particular needs. Comfy bed, nice linen, wi.fi. Would definitely go back!

LorraineSeptember 2016

This barn is beautifully converted... My dad has transformed a few places in his time and both of us couldn't fault it! It has everything you could need and it was immaculately clean and fresh. It has a private courtyard to relax/BBQ/eat in, with the bonus of a covered area to shelter from the elements. Lots of places to eat out nearby and only 10-15 minutes to the coast. Jerry was helpful and friendly but respects your space. I highly recommend this place...

NickOctober 2015

Joyce and Allen are a great couple and excellent hosts! The cottage and room were lovely and homely with everything you could ask for. Breakfast was delicious, especially Joyce’s homemade banana bread. My 1 year old daughter stayed with us too and loved Joyce’s company as much as we did. I’m sure we will visit again soon.

ShelleySeptember 2015

Joyce and Alan were exceptional hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely welcome with tea and rather delicious home- made cake. Their cottage is delightful. Our room very comfortable, pretty, cosy and warm. Just right to relax in after a long day walking and birdwatching.The king-size bed extremely comfortable. The en-suite shower particularly good -roomy and efficient. Our continental breakfast delicious with lots of choice. This is optional and you pay separately. The area is very pretty and out of the way. Surrounded by quiet country lanes and the occasional attractive cottage or house. Finding Wickmere, and Goose Green Cottage, was a little difficult for us with just a (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map but Joyce is going to address that. There is a pub within half an hour 's walking distance so be prepared to drive to a pub for a meal. However there is a very good restaurant and bar only 8-10 minutes away -The Saracens Head. The food was delicious and staff very friendly. It is best to book. There is so much to see and do in the surrounding area we will have to come back. Thank you Joyce and Alan for your kindness. It was a pleasure to get to know you.

LindsayApril 2016

Alan and Joyce were delightful and welcoming hosts and they made us feel very much at home in their gorgeous country house!! It was the perfect North Norfolk experience - a very comfortable room with en suite, and a great recommendation for dinner at the Saracen's Head, which was within easy walking distance down peaceful laneways. Loved every bit!

An excellent time was had by all, we loved the way everything was laid out and the lovely retro styling touches. The super little wood burner in the tent kept us toasty warm at night. The location is central to a lot of great kids activities which are all 30 mins or less away. The shower room is the best I've ever had on a camping trip.

Perfect doesn't describe what Claire has achieved here. Beautiful peaceful setting. She has thought of every little detail. Shower facilities were better than expected with lovely products provided. All you could want in the kitchen area. We had fabulous weather so made the most of bbq and hammock. Thank you Claire for creating a little gem. See you again......

JanetMay 2016

We had a wonderful stay at Glen Farm Glamping. Everything was spot on. We had everything we needed and extra. The tent was lovely and cosy, the kitchen was great and the shower and toilet room was just what we needed to make it "not camping". Definitely the way to go! The children particularly loved the hammock. Claire was the perfect host, and we felt welcomed but nicely left to our own devices. The children are insisting that we book again for next year!

VictoriaSeptember 2016

As soon as we drove up the long driveway through the woods, we knew we were somewhere special! Claire was so welcoming and the bell tent absolutely perfect, the little touches like the vintage furniture and crockery, fresh flowers and chocolate Easter bunnies on arrival made our stay even better than we imagined. Nothing was too much trouble for Claire and her family and we will 100% be back! x

Large furnished bell tents set in the stunning and historical setting of Mannington Hall and Gardens just outside Itteringham in North Norfolk. Get back to nature in style!
We have between 4 and 7 tents, including one it it's own private meadow.

All tents are kitted out with beds, (double's are futons or a like with proper mattresses, singles are camp beds), log burners for cosy evenings, cooking facilities, kitchenware, lanterns and a fire bowl for outside cooking and camp fire fun! There's a vintage cool box in the tents and an onsite freezer for coolpacks (provided). The tents will accommodate five people comfortably, but a max of 3 adults per tent please.
On site there is access to showers, (newly rufurbed for 2015), toilets and an honesty shop in case you run out of fire wood or candles! Also, new for 2015, we have a new 2.5 acre field with a field shelter kitted out with seating and ping pong, also a wood fired pizza oven and sauna.
Amber's Bell Tent Camping aims to take the hassle out of camping by supplying everything you need for a relaxing stylish comfortable camping experience, thus avoiding the never ending packing before your trip, and the dreaded unpacking at the end, leaving you more time to relax!
Our campers have exclusivity to camping at Mannington, and with 4 tents in the cooler months and a max of 8 in the Summer, there is no chance of crowds. The gardens at Mannington are open to the public a couple of times a week, but our campers are allowed access throughout their stay. Check out the rose gardens for a great spot for a game of hide and seek, and the water meadow for nature spotting.
There is a loo and shower block about 200m from the camping field, housing 4 new showers and 6 loos. There is a freezer on site for the cool packs that go in the in tent chiller boxes. Exclusive access to the new wood fired sauna and pizza oven.
Campers have access to the gardens and parkland surrounding the medieval hall at Mannington.
There are cultivated gardens circling the moated house, with walled gardens housing heritage garden planting, with stunning herbaceous borders, fern gardens, roses (over 1000 varieties), and areas for interest for the younger ones too, with willow tunnels and insect investigations.
Further away from the house, there are landscaped lakes, surrounded by over 50 species of different trees, with walks through the blue bells and rhododendrens. Wild flowers and plants are encouraged on the water meadow, where you'll find a board walk to a hide, over looking another lake where otters and kingfishers are regularly seen. This is an ideal place for a spot of pond dipping, the water holes always hosting a display of different damsel and dragon flies in the summer months.
We now have fact sheets and user guides on the website detailing all the things included in your stay and more importantly what you can leave behind. Do have a look. There are also maps detailing the site and directions on how to find your way to us along with user guides for the wood fired pizza oven and sauna.
I will forward detailed arrival instructions and there are information packs in the hut and tents for you. I then tend to come up once in the evening to check everyone has everything they need. Am just at the end of a phone if needed. I only live 2 miles away if anything is requested or help needed.

15 acres of statley home magic is yours, inlcuding wild wetlands with bird hide, moated house gardens, lawns, woodland. There are maps in the tents of the grounds, including the lake walk which is a nice 20 min stroll, and longer walks taking in the local countryside. Walk over the fields to Itteringham, where you'll find the best little country store around, selling local produce and serving teas. Dinner.. head to the fab Walpole Arms and enjoy a torch lit walk home.
Closer to home, there's the Greedy Goose tea rooms on site (open during garden opening times) - great for Sunday brunch once packed up...
Mannington is surrounded by some fantastic cycling, along beautiful sheltered leafy lanes linking up some of the counties best pubs for family riding, or heading up through the wooded dells to the coast for a longer stretch. Book bikes with us and have them ready for you when you arrive!
And of course, there's the amazing North Norfolk coastline - with the sandy beaches of West Runton Cromer and Overstrand an easy back lane drive away, and the pebbly splendor of Cley next the sea a 20 min drive. A divine spot for an evening swim - don't forget your water shoes! There's an amber's beach guide you can download on the website and in your intent packs.
Nearest train is Cromer or Norwich. Taxi from there around £20.
We're hoping to link up with some bike hire companies to make cycling easier. Watch this space.
We have four to eight bell tents, and only one calender, so if it's says we're booked, that may only be one tent, so please drop me a message :)
It's two night minimum booking at weekends, 3 nights during bank holiday. I know single nights are always wanted - I can help with this from Sunday through to Thursday during term time. For longer stays, you can message me for a special price.
Extras - You can now book an intent massage with professional sports and massage therapist Dave Wain. His contact is on the ambers bell tent website. We also have a bike hire add on, and are organising some family bush craft sessions as add ons too!

Our family had a lovely stay at Amber's Bell Tent. The toilet/shower facilities are very clean. It was refreshing waking up to the sound of nature. This is the first time we did camping/glamping in the UK. I would definitely recommend Amber's Bell Tent.

EmilyJune 2015

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at ABTC! The tent was exactly as in the pictures and the surrounding grounds were lovely! The site is very well maintained and has everything that you need to camp in style - the log burner was a lovely addition the pizza oven and sauna a bonus! Although we did not meet Amber in person we were in regular contact by phone in advance of the trip and throughout she was very responsive and her husband popped by on the first night to check we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back again in the future! :)

LauraJune 2015

Absolutely loved Amber's bell tents!! Arrived in blazing sunshine after a day of cycling to a tranquil oasis and a warm welcome from Amber. She had obligingly squeezed another couple of camp beds into our tent so it was 'cosy' but worked perfectly well. Pretty decor 'indoors' and vases of flowers on the picnic tables made it feel homely. Good selection of cooking implements with the facility to barbecue plus useful cool box storage. Toilet block and showers clean and fresh. Peaceful setting and the gardens at Mannington just gorgeous. We could have stayed all week! Easy walk to local pub with delicious food. Amber is extremely friendly and helpful. Stay here and get back to nature.

GillianJuly 2015

Wow. What a great time we had. Amber has got the 'glamping' thing utterly nailed. It is all quiet quiet perfect. We stayed in early August - Ali, me and our two young girls - in a 5m bell tent with a luxurious real mattress double and two singles. The rest of the furniture is all vintage trunks and antique orange boxes, decorated with fresh flowers and bunting, books, lamps and little bits of love everywhere. Not only are the tent's beautifully and comprehensively decked out but the communal area is stacked with additional tools and utensils, emergency supplies, wood, games and kit; all operated on a gracefully run honesty box. The pizza oven is also brilliant - we baked enough to sink the Italian navy. The site is open yet cosy, the scenery beautiful and the the sheep next-door friendly... for sheep. No cars are allowed on site which makes all the difference, but the car park is not so far away as to be a pain. The Greedy Goose cafe has some great lunches and even better ice cream. And, Mannington Hall's gardens are just beautiful. We wandered for the best part of a day. And finally, Amber. What a delightful and utterly charming host. She's a lovely and wonderful lady. We hope to see her again.

MatthewAugust 2015

A great getaway in the most amazing surroundings. With so much provided in the tents it was so simple to turn up and start enjoying ourselves without the usual hassle.

ArranJune 2014

Amber's Bell Tents are pitched in a beautiful location, surrounded by fields of sheep and lambs, big old trees and the backdrop of the manor house. 'Wild' camping with not a soul in sight but with the amenity of a campsite. The tent had everything we needed for our stay, very thoughtful provisions and kit and looks so pretty with bunting and fairy lights - our children were thrilled. We stayed in the chilly Easter holidays so very much appreciated the log burning stove which works surprisingly well to keep the inside warm and keep the kettle hot! Very well organised and done with great care and charm. Great place.

RichardApril 2014

We had an amazing time staying at Ambers Bell Tents. It was unfortunate that Amber was unable to meet us, but she had prepared everything for us before hand, with instructions on where to find things (be it wood or the pub!) and what to do in the local area. The Tent itself was awesome. The furnishings were homely and it genuinely felt cosy, especially with the wood burning stove on and it raining outside! It did rain constantly during our stay but in the intermittent moments between downpours we were able to wander around the amazingly beautiful Mannington Hall Gardens which were just 10m from the tent. You can have a shower in little bathrooms near where you park - its a 30second walk and theyre reasonably good. It is certainly a rustic experience and unbelievably good fun. The Walpole Arms is about a 10-15min walk across some field in Itteringham and is probably one of the best pubs i've been to in years. We had a great and unforgettable time - Thanks Amber!!

JonathanJuly 2014

We booked this break almost a year ago and would have to say, the wait was so worthwhile! A fantastic get away from all of the trappings of our electronic modern lives. The experience starts the moment you arrive - you leave your car by the gate and use a collection of wheelbarrows to transport your luggage to your bell tent. We arrived at dusk, swiftly lit the log burner and tea lights whilst our son aged 13 and daughter aged 5 had fun blowing dandelion heads in the meadow. On our first day we made brunch on the campfire and explored the grounds of Mannington Hall - also a hidden gem. We preceded the sauna with a nature shower - water hosed from the cold water tap supply - to the backdrop of a field of sheep. The bell tent is super comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. Every little detail has been carefully thought about including an honesty shed and system for basic supplies/little things that enhance your experience. We all had a wonderful family time and would wholehearted recommend the experience! Thank you ABTC. We cannot wait to come back and use the pizza oven!

Set just a few minutes away from Aylsham itself. And a great jump off point to explore the rest of Norfolk. Or just stay cosy with the underfloor heating, newspapers and breakfast in bed. We enjoyed the small but perfectly formed lounge. Read a book and listen to time slowly melt away. Like the hustle and bustle of the big city did for us. Super easy instructions to locate the place by becky and also a hand picked local information guide to help you get the most out of your stay. With some great local pubs and shopping info. Top stay. Lovely host. We'll be back soon!

andyJuly 2015

This is a retreat indeed...woken up by birdsong every morning after a wonderful, restful sleep in comfortable, chic surroundings. Little Oak is a really relaxing, welcoming little abode in a charming rural town. It was a great base for country walks and also not far from the amazing Blickling Hall. Five stars!

DalAugust 2016

A really brilliant little place. It was well equipped, cosy and very tastefully decorated. It's in a lovely peaceful location, just a short walk from Aylsham. Not far from Norwich, the Broads and the North Norfolk coast, it was a perfect base from which to explore the area, and it made for a brilliant break.

TomAugust 2016

Little Oak was incredibly beautiful. The kind of place that immediately calms and soothes your soul. I was reminded of Kettles Yard in Cambridge, it had the same calmness and serenity. We had a very peaceful weekend. I loved cooking in the perfectly thought out and equipped kitchen, relaxing in the stylish yet comfortable sitting room and showering in the fantastic rain shower. I didn't want to leave. So many beautiful touches creating the perfect retreat. I shall be recommending this place to friends and hope we will have an opportunity to return again. Becky and her partner were warm and friendly hosts, where nothing was too much trouble, especially when I didn't know how to operate the sumptuous underfloor heating. Thank you so much.

RosSeptember 2016

The house is very comfortable and peaceful. Rebecca provided All the information we needed to make ourselves at home and when we had a question she responded immediately. The house is exceptionally tasteful, peaceful, cosy and designed with great care. The secluded area outside is a lovely private place to sit and chat. It is well placed to get to all parts of North Norfolk. Delightful!

LouisaAugust 2016

Lovely characterful cottage accurately described. Quiet location but close enough to amenities of Aylsham and ideally placed for exploring North Norfolk. The cottage is well equipped, private and comfortable for a couple looking for a retreat to escape to for a few days.

Pamela April 2016

My son Oscar and I had a fantastic time. Private stylish and very comfortable xx Hope to come back soon

AmandaJuly 2016

Design + Function + Accommodation in the purest sense! When looking for an escape in the country where we live, we never expected to find a home away from home. By home, one doesn't expect a superbly designed cottage that ticks every box. Spending a few days here with our son Ronan was calm, quiet, and also quintessentially chic. For a little cottage in a beautiful setting we were exceedingly surprised with not only the look and feel indoors as the flavour and vibe of the outdoors. We will definitely be back. Top drawer in every way. Geoff and Kate Riley

The area is a true rural idyll, with all kinds of wildlife visiting the garden, from barn owls to deer, to garden birds. Buzzards can be seen overhead. There are so many public footpaths within a short walk - it is possible to walk for miles over gorgeous countryside and river meadows with very little need to go on roads, which are mostly tiny with very sparse traffic..
The Retreat is perfectly positioned to reach all of North Norfolk and the Broads.
I love the silence, with nothing but the wind blowing and bird call - a true retreat!
The nearest bus stop is in Aylsham. If you want to get to The Retreat by public transport, its good to organise a taxi from Aylsham for the last leg of the journey. It is great biking country, and your bike will be safe as houses outside The Retreat! (There are no facilities to store bikes, by the way)...

Jane your cottage is such a cutesy place to stay, the effort put into the workable design of it is incredible use of space. Amazed that you stock cottage for all domestic needs even down to detergent for washing machine. The garden is so special with its bird life even in winter was a haven to return to, location caters for seclusion although not far from so many local beauty spots and gorgeous villages. No where in Norfolk is too far to travel to easily . Will return when next in England thanks Jane for letting this cottage at such short notice. Regards Eve and Dave

EveFebruary 2014

Small but perfectly formed! This was such a cosy little hideaway in a gorgeous corner of Norfolk. The Retreat had everything we needed for a lovely few days' break. It really was away from the hustle and bustle and the garden was the perfect place to sit and relax in the afternoon sunshine! Jane responded very quickly to booking and other queries and was happy to be contacted should the need have arisen. We would recommend it.

MirandaApril 2014

The Idyllic Retreat has been the perfect place for our stay: quiet, cosy, with easy access to the main spots in the area. The retreat had all we needed - equipped kitchen, bathroom with a wide shower, fresh towels, hairdryer, tv... The mobile reception was almost absent inside the retreat, but I understand it is something Jane is trying to fix...and however, this even helped making the break from the daily routine even greater!

Giada OpalSeptember 2015

A little slice of heaven ....just what we needed after a long wet winter. This location offers you comfort fantastic views and a couple of lovely village pubs serving good food and not forgetting lovely weather.

LeeonaApril 2014

Before arrival we were not sent any information on gaining entry or key lock number. Fortunately Jane was there that day. The Retreat is small but fully self contained with a good shower. The area is good for walking and particularly cycling. There is no wifi or cellphone signal available.

You’ll love my place because of it's amenities, secluded garden with summer house, cleanliness, ease of access to many family-friendly attractions and activities and also the short walk to the village centre and bus stops. My place is good for couples of all ages, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and well behaved furry friends (pets).

The accommodation is separate from our home – in the garden - and comprises a large bedroom, with king-size bed, a small utility area and shower room. French windows lead out onto a small seating area for your use and access to the 1-acre garden.

There is a kettle, toaster and tiny fridge in the utility area and we can supply, to your taste, all the ingredients of a DIY breakfast. Please note: the accommodation is not self-catering, as there is no cooker, but there is a wide selection of good places to eat in the surrounding area.
The annexe is a wifi-free zone – although emails can be checked at the house if necessary. Come to Oulton and really get away from it all!
This accommodation is situated to the side of a 'working' garden and guests are welcome to wander in the orchard and vegetable garden or go onto the field and visit the sheep. Please note that there is sometimes an active electric fence around the sheep.
There is a 14-foot trampoline, suitable for adult use. There is no safety surround - so have fun, but at your own risk!
If you are seeking peace and quiet we shall leave you well alone, but we shall be on hand if required, to offer help, or advice on the local area.

Oulton Street is a tiny hamlet situated equidistant between Norwich, the Broads and the North Norfolk coast. The coast at Cromer is 20 minutes away; the wonderful beach at Holkham is 40 minutes' drive. We are two and a half miles from the attractive market town of Aylsham and even closer to the National Trust property at Blickling Hall. The Blickling estate, with its mature woodland, lake and parkland, is freely available for walking, a mile down the road.
There are interesting cafes and many pubs with good restaurants, both locally and in a wide surrounding area.
Car essential - this is a very rural area and the nearest bus service is 3 miles away. Otherwise, bring your own bike!
Please note that, although you will have privacy within your accommodation, our access to the garden and animals passes along the side of the annexe.
Please also be aware that mobile phone coverage is very patchy in this area - the glories of the countryside!

We returned to Alison and Jonathan's lovely garden annexe only 7 days after our first visit - this probably tells you how nice it is. And again we were SO impressed by their thoughtfulness in preparing for our visit. Last week we suggested that we would probably grab a fish and chip supper on the way to the annexe following a long day at work - as it happens we didn't - but when we arrived they had supplied us with salt, vinegar, tomato ketchup, bread and butter just for out chip supper. It may seem like a very small thing, but its the small things that make the difference. They are so keen to please and provide a hassle free break with them in lovely Norfolk they deserve every success - if you are looking to stay in the North Norfolk area you can't go wrong by spending a few relaxing days here. Well done and keep up the good work !

Graham and MarieFebruary 2016

We were made to feel very welcome at the garden annexe! Alison and Jonathon were very helpful in making sure that we had everything we needed to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay. The accommodation is beautifully quaint, well presented and clean. The location is lovely and quiet and also perfect for North Norfolk and Blickling. Thank you very much for our stay.

JessicaDecember 2015

From the moment I enquired about Alison and Jonathan's accommodation they made me feel very welcome indeed. On meeting them I was invited into their home for a coffee, along with my 6 year old daughter who absolutely loved their interesting home! They are wonderfully kind and went the extra mile to ensure we were both happy and comfortable.....which we were! The accommodation itself felt like a home from home and was extremely cosy and more than spacious for two. We will be back for sure!!

JonNovember 2015

Everything felt just right - even before we even arrived - a very detailed email giving very good directions, asking us about breakfast choices, recommending local pubs - and even offering to drop us off there if needed ! We went in early Feb, and the annexe was really toasty - so much so we had to open a window in the middle of the night as it was too warm ( my fault I set the thermostat high in case it got cold in the night) Not a self catering arrangement, but that not a criticism - with kettle, toaster, small fridge and a great selection of tea, coffee (instant and ground) bread, jams, honey, cereal, fruit and yoghurts if you grab a pub meal at night, there is more than plenty for breakfast The annexe is away from the owners house, so quiet, peaceful and relaxing - we liked it so much we have booked again for next weekend ! A wonderful hidden gem, with a pair of fantastic hosts If you are in North Norfolk, don't pass this one by.

Graham and MarieFebruary 2016

Directions to our wonderful retreat were perfect. Hosts were friendly and welcoming and Jonathan and Alison's Garden Annexe was just what we needed for a 'get away from it all holiday'. Lovely surroundings and a peaceful spot to refresh the batteries. Would recommend it to friends and we will be visiting again.

PaulineSeptember 2016

We had a great welcome from Alison who showed us round the annexe on arrival. We'd already been contacted prior to our arrival to ask what we'd like for breakfast and been given very useful instructions about how to find the property, where to park and to coordinate the meet and greet. All was as described if not better! Their taxi recommendation took the stress out of finding a reliable taxi firm to our friend's wedding. We would love to stay again as it's a lovely spot to get away from it all!

LouiseMay 2016

We only stayed a night in Alison and Jonathan's garden annexe but enjoyed it very much. They were on hand to welcome us and made us feel very welcome. The annexe has everything you need and is nestled in a lovely garden and orchard. Would definitely stay again, as well as recommend to others.

GabriellaMarch 2016

The annexe was delightful, separate from the cottage, in Alison and Jonathan's beautiful garden, which we were invited to explore. It was warm and cosy with a kingsize bed, and the makings of hot drinks and breakfast. The shower room is large, warm and the shower a very good one! Alison and Jonathan are friendly and welcoming. We were interested to find out about the area, where they have lived for many years. Oulton is a small village, very near Blickling Hall, and only 10 minutes drive to Aylsham a lovely little market town. There is no TV but plenty of books!

We had a fantastic stay at Roy's house. Roy was a great host, good communication and clear, simple check-in instructions. The house was beautifully decorated and so much space! Great place for a county break and would be ideal for families. Well equipped kitchen for cooking and the main bedroom had a lovely bath in the ensuite. Tesco is only a few minutes walk away and some lovely local shops within walking distance in the village. This was perfect for a relaxing break and had a lovely garden to enjoy. Would definitely lovely to return in the future.

Amazing house and lovely village close to beach and not far from Norwich. All up a great weekend

Beautiful place, very clean, lovely town. Correspondance was first class.

Church Farm Barns is the perfect location for big family holidays, or large group get togethers. The accommodation is split into 3 different barns (that are all joined together) so that groups can have their own space.

During the summer holidays we can only accept week long bookings from Saturday to Saturday!

Church Farm Barns is spread over our 3 barns (Corner, Owl and Bailey's). Each Barn has it's own lounge and kitchen, but big groups often congregate in the larger Corner Barn which has the biggest kitchen and a large table so everyone can eat together. The barns have a private courtyard with BBQs and games.
We can sleep up to 17 people + cots!
